Colorful touches of country, folk, rockabilly, blues and soul make up this Americana work of art by acclaimed New Orleans singer/songwriter, Kelcy Mae. The Fire encapsulates the best yet of Mae's poesy, singing, and knack for solid, southern arrangements.

I wanna be the king of Tennessee
I wanna shake it from black and white to color TV
And I wanna rock and roll in fancy cars
I wanna spend my days with Hollywood stars
Oh, I wanna sing, I wanna sing like the king

And I wanna go from rags to riches, too
I wanna show of my fancy blue suede shoes
And I wanna feel that warm spotlight
I wanna sway my hips all through the night
Oh, I wanna feel, I wanna feel like the king

Oh I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be
Oh I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be
I said I wanna be
Just like Elvis Presley

Only time will tell, only time will tell
Only time tells whether a king goes to heaven or hell
And I know I've been a pretty good man
I can say I've done the best a man can
Oh I wanna see and I wanna touch my maker's hand

Oh I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be
Oh I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be
I said I wanna be
Just like...
the king.

Ten times I heard my name, and ten times I turned back
I saw your picture on the wall, I saw your past
There are so many things I know, tell me something, please
Tell me something I don't
'Cause I know your picture
And I know your deeds
So give me something that I need

I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie

The wind brings the music in with the dust and hair it blows
And the house begins to sing in the key of our echoes
The old windows, they rattle as the new spring leaves swell in waves
And your voice sounds so distant just from blocks away
And I know what this means
I know how we live
But the truth is only relative

I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie

You don't hear me when I call
You don't hear me when I fall
You don't hear me when I call
No you don't hear me at all

I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie
I would love, would love, would love a lie
